DESCRIPTION:The Contis, the Struggle Continues  (95 min. 2010) France  (free 
 admission)\nBy Philippe Clatot\nIn Spring 2009, more than 1000 workers at 
 the Continental factory in Clairoix, France, are told their plant will 
 close for “economic reasons” with the permanent loss of their jobs. The 
 workers begin to organize to defend their jobs and keep the plant open, and 
 are infuriated that the company would destroy their livelihood.\n\n Xavier 
 Mathieu, a worker representative from the CGT union said, “Until now they 
 have seen the Continental lambs. From now on, we are lions! We have been 
 restrained for five weeks, now we will let loose,” They begin to organize 
 and begin to learn the lessons from the past as they struggle to fight 
 back. They fail to save the factory but win 50,000 euros for each worker.
